@Mom424: No, it's not well documented. Historians and ship makers from the time say that all anchors in the area weighed around 600 lbs. Most of the claims about his feats of strength have been dismissed by strength historians. And he never weighed anywhere near 580 lbs.

Two years later I stumble across your reply and in all serious, I'm glad I did. As I said in my original post, I may be wrong, so I'm glad that you pointed out that I was VERY wrong. You'll probably never read this but I don't like to not know what I'm talking about so I am genuinely grateful for your input.
